My son wasn't down with the vibe from the moment we got in. He saw the slanty bowls, says "I don't mean to be negative, but I hate it!" We ordered immediately when our waters came. The seared tuna was over seasoned. I did enjoy the salad. But after waiting for over an hour, I asked if I could get the shrimp and grits, as we had somewhere we needed to be. About that time, someone came out of the kitchen, tried to give me a cheeseburger. I let him know it wasn't for me. "It's for the band! This is where the band is supposed to sit." I had chosen that chair as it was the only one near the windows that didn't have sun directly in our eyes. I told him. There was no sign. None of the servers or hosts had said. "I wasn't notified." But my son and I went ahead and got up and went to stand by the bar to wait for our entree. I felt it had great potential, but it missed the mark for us. read more

The Bays Newnan-The Cellar Newnan are two in the same restaurant. The Bays has a chic, fun, family friendly atmosphere that's also popular for dates and parties, while The Cellar has a more upscale vibe. Both have delicious food: The Bays has classics like burgers, and fun appetizers. The Cellar has a sophisticated of steaks and such. I cannot make my mind up which I like better! I like that I can choose between two restaurants! My favorite though, is the staff. I'm usually uncomfortable in public if it's noisy. The staff is so sweet and kind, I forget all about my challenges and relax! Folks! You've gotta go & go often! read more

Ambiance lovely, with great potential. However during an (attended business dinner) event the food served was absent of creative presentation, as well the mushy green beans were surley canned, the mashed potatoes boxed & overly salted, the salad (cheap ingredients aka) uninspiring. So overall the food was Dollar-Store quality. The Family style venue: with 10 ppl. per table each course was served via a small soup bowl of which was inappropriately filled per served 10 ppl. Bottomline: if a business wants to promote a classy introduction this place isn't recommended. read more

It was absolutely horrible! Menu had French onion soup on it and they didn't have any, They said they forgot to change their menu. We ordered a steak flatbread. It was actually steak ems on some flatbread and we asked for NO blue cheese and they put cheese on it anyway and the meal was cold and disgusting. They didn't offer to take it off of our bill. The lady asked how was my ceviche, I said it was OK because it was not great and she goes. Oh well we arent a Mexican restaurant and walks Off. Now keep in mind we went here for our 22nd wedding anniversary, yeah I know. We wasted $80 on horrible service and bad food!!! Would not recommend!!! read more

Amazing food and atmosphere! Service is top notch. Perfect place for a date night. I highly recommend.

Cute place to relax and grab a beer and snack! Fantastic outdoor seating area. Service is a bit slow which was concerning since the place was empty. Enjoy a few snacks like the Brie quesadillas and the cheese fondue. Both were good! read more

We chose to sit inside and were able to be seated immediately at 7:00 PM (table of three). We just had waters, I got the fish and chips, my sister got the Fried Chicken Sandwich, and my friend got the Chicken, Apple, and Brie sandwich. Overall the food was good. I think if they could improve on a couple things, the waitstaff seemed very short staffed, we needed more waters and sauces but ended up just getting our checks instead of waiting. We also were sitting in a table close to the bar and people were standing right behind us we couldn't move freely and people were cutting around our table to get through the restaurant. Otherwise we had a good experience and would return. read more

Had to request bar drinks several times. Noticed a table that came in and ordered after us was served their meals and I asked about our food's status. I was told it was being plated right now. After 10 minutes I asked again and was finally told that there were 40 people on their patio and an order for 12 burgers got between our order. That made no sense since the table that ordered after us should have been delayed. Poor communication and a 90 minute wait for food turned this visit into an ordeal. Food was good, service NOT. read more

Was in Newnan visiting family and went here for dinner. The atmosphere was inviting, the service was great and the food was amazing. Will be visiting Newnan again soon and will definitely stop in. read more

Amazing food, great service, chill atmosphere. Went here again for dinner and they didn't disappoint. I had the crab stuffed' salmon. It was perfectly cooked, moist but firm and not undercooked, perfectly seasoned, and fresh off the grill. They must pay a premium for their quality produce and meats. I had a couple Moscow Mules and they were delicious! The apple and baked Brie quesadilla appetizer is outstanding! read more

We started at a gourmet burger place across the street but the wait for a table for two at that place was nearly an hour. We decided to see what the wait was like at The Cellar. It was only 10 minutes, so we stayed there. We both ordered the Wild Game Burger with fries, and loved it! If I remember right, it was a mash-up of bison, elk, and boar. We ordered it medium and every bite was so juicy and tasty! The fries were so delicious that we ordered another batch of them to share. Our table was on the outdoor patio. It was perfect for a mild early summer evening. The atmosphere, the service, and the food were all great! read more

Receiving starts based on food quality and the kindness of our waitress, lacking stars because of price, atmosphere, and wait time. I'm starting off by saying our service was incredibly nice and was very attentive, it seems like none of the issues were her fault. However, my wife and I were in here on a Friday night, and waited over 45 minutes from ordering our food to receiving it. I've had previous experiences here with long wait times, with each seeming to get longer waiting on food and drinks but this was far and away the longest. When we received the food, it was good, nothing extraordinary but nothing to write home about either. Our bill after tax/tip was right at $100. For chips and dip, a plate of pasta, a sandwich, and one glass of wine? Seems a bit steep for bar food..... The ambiance was very confusing- they had a band going that was very loud and made it hard to converse. They were good though and fun to listen to, but it just seems like the Cellar can't decide what it wants to be. They have pricing of an upscale restaurant but service and atmosphere of a Friday night dive. My wife and I enjoy spending time together paying a good price for a nice meal , and we also enjoy a Friday night out listening to music and sharing bar food. We just don't enjoy mixing those two together. read more

Late dinner on a Thursday. No wait. Not a great selection on menu choices. Everything was extremely expensive. Portion size for a petite appetite. Cheese board was marked as shareable but only had a 2 pieces of bread and some cracker crumbs. Chicken was dry, cat fish filet was 2x2 piece, Cajun shrimp and grits had no Cajun or any seasoning. Server and atmosphere were good. read more

Appetizers were off. We had the fried green tomatoes and fired pickles. The batter was undesirable, way too fluffy not crispy. Blue cheese on the tomato was nasty. Opposing flavors simply a bad choice of flavors. I had the smaller ribeye cut with veggies and cheese grits. Cheese grits tasted powdery not the creamy texture as expected. The steak seemed like an end cut. It was hard to determine how to cut based on grain direction. Underwhelming visit. Unfortunately, won't be back. read more

The Bay attached to the Cellar is a fantastic concept. Atmosphere is better than a regular sports bar. Food was quality. Service was consistent, even though it was very busy for a Thursday. The only issue was the live music, although the music was good it was much too loud. We found ourselves yelling just to have normal conversation and agreed it was the only drawback of the night. read more

The servive and food were amazing! We had the crab artichoke salmon with risotto with purple whale martinis and our son had the cajun catfish with cosmo mock-tail. We can't wait to go back! Be sure to reserve your table on open-table because it is very popular and intimate setting. read more

Love the Cellar. Love the owner. Really love the staff. I've spent many a night there enjoying myself while I am away from my family working regularly in Newnan and I will continue to give them my business. That being said, it is unconscionable to me that they would close completely for the entirety of a Friday night for what appears to be a rehearsal dinner. So what is the fee you need to possibly surrender your position as the go to restaurant in Newnan on a Friday? Surely it's big right? read more

The service was terrible. Had to keep finding servers to help refill water, salt, ketchup. More water. Saw our server standing beside the bar chatting away and not taking care of us or checking on us. Epic fail. Will not return They also charge a fee to accept credit cards in a non compliant way!! read more

We had dinner here tonight and it was great. The staff were wonderful, and we loved the vibe of the place. They have an enclosed open air space, with heaters, and an outdoor front area with heaters. The menu had several specialty items. What we ordered but didn't get pictures of: Brie quesadilla, lobster bisque and pretzel with pub cheese. It was all DELICIOUS. Our entrees came out perfect. The only complaint I would have is the tables, for four, really aren't big enough for everyone's meals, drinks and salads; we made it work. The caramel lava cake was decadent. read more

I'll keep it short and sweet. Food is very ordinary and the menu is limited. This is supposed to be a nice restaurant but clearly has much to improve. Staff was uninterested in customers. My husband had a terrible beer and returned and ordered another but was charged for both. The steaks were just ok. The salad was the best part of the meal. No dessert and paid $150 for a meal I could have done better at home. I was told they share a kitchen with The Bays (outdoor restaurant adjacent). Since the service there is very similar we will not be back. read more

Service was great. This review is no reflection on the server. For the menu price, I'm expecting more. At the very least, iron the table cloths. If nothing on your menu is less than $20 and you have table cloths, iron them. My food was a little too salty. The pre-meal bread was nothing but Sister Schubert rolls. Wife's food was so/so. Overall, is it a must visit, no. Probably wouldn't go back unless it was a party/event and then we'd only attend for the people - not the food or restaurant itself. read more

my $18 margarita came after my food it was only filled 2/3 full and was made with a pre mix (which is fine but not when your charging that much). My $13 very small wedge salad had brown pieces in it and the tomatoes where getting soft and slimy plus the bacon tasted as if it was cooked a few days ago. The only other thing I had was sweet potatoes fries and they were store bought but decent. all in all there's way better places to go in downtown Newnan for lunch. I was by myself and my bill (for a side salad, side of fries and crappy margarita) was $42. I don't mind paying for quality, but that was far from quality. I did tip 20% because it was not my server's fault but I'm pretty disappointed. read more

Food is average at best. We walked in and my Fiancé had a coffee in hand from another restaurant. Before the "manager" came up, he had already ordered a coffee from the bar. He then proceeded to tell him "no outside drinks in the restaurant.". Right after explained that he ordered a drink already. He was insistent and suggested he take the "non name brand cup outside to the sidewalk." Just puzzled why it's such a big deal. Aside from that, the bartender very clearly had no desire to be there. Her bad attitude and lack of attention would make any customer turn around and walk the other direction. Yikes. Probably won't be back. - A Newnan native read more

We really enjoy the atmosphere, the service, and the food. If you're looking for a good dinner or just some drinks, I highly recommend.

The food was good, but not spectacular. And not too many light options on the menu. Everything was very rich. My salmon and crab had toooo much salt and garlic. Over-spicing the food drowned out the rest of the flavors. I would go back to The Cellar and try something different on the menu. We went for a nicer dinner to catch up with friends over the holidays. I enjoyed the atmosphere. The decor is classy without being pretentious. Live pianist playing Christmas music softly in the background. Just lovely! read more

Amazing food and the bartender, Sarah, was awesome! The salmon was so good and my husband had the shrimp and grits. We will be back!

The food is outstanding! It's a great place to go to have a nice quiet dinner and enjoy wonderful food!

Great cocktails at a full bar, delicious lobster bisque thick as chowder in asymmetrical bowls, cat fish in cream sauce on a bed of collard greens and grits, seared salmon on lemon risotto and haricots Verde al dente. What a fine meal in Newnan, Georgia. read more

The Cellar at Firestone - European ambiance. - Bars Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

If you're eating here, I recommend sitting inside. Their service outside is just god awful, even before COVID and restrictions. Their food is very good, but the indoor menu is way better. If you're looking to just get drinks, try to sit actually at the bar. That's the only way you're drinks won't run out. When they do have live music, the stage is very close to the tables, so it can get really loud. Love the atmosphere though. A nice place for a summer dinner. read more

The food was exceptional. It was served hot and in a timely manner. Service was good. Ambience was adequate. Live music was a nice touch. Only recommendation is to replace the bartender.

We joined our family at The Cellar for a retirement celebration. Our experience was ok. The atmosphere: lovely place with comfortable seating. Plenty of room. However in early evening, the glare from the front window made it difficult to see others at our table. The service: Our server was attentive and kept our drinks filled. However, we were never told about the specials of the day and they had just replaced their menu with a much pared down one today. When asked about sides (which weren't on the new menu), she was able to recite them for us. The food: Some of the food was really good - the chicken for example, but some of the food not so much. My sweet potato was lukewarm. The coffee wasn't hot. The mousse was melted. So overall, It was an ok experience. Much room for improvement And for the price, I expected better. Much better. read more

The Cellar used to be a favorite of mine. However, my last two experiences here the service was terrible and slow. The food was also not that great and a woman, who appeared to be a manager/owner, was extremely rude and not welcoming. I should have turned around and left! read more

We were seated at an outdoor table at Bays. We sat there for almost 30 minutes and not one server approached us. A waitress walked by us at least 10 times and never once said anything to us, just continued to help the 2 tables next to us. it was not busy at all. We finally walked out in disgust. We will not be going back. Get your act together! read more

Worst dining experience in Newnan. Seated us by the front door on a windy, 40° night. Drinks from the bar were overly sweet and undrinkable. Fried green tomato appetizer was very disappointing. It was battered in tempura and served with bleu cheese and chopped tomatoes??? Will not ever return. Way too expensive for incredibly disappointing food and drinks in an outdated atmosphere in desperate need of renovation. read more

Food substandard, service mediocre, drinks were terrible, decor needs a refresh desperately. During the coldest night in a week, was seated by the door and exposed to frequent blasts of cold wind each time the door was opened...though there were several other tables available. read more

I placed an order on Uber eats and it was scheduled to be delivered between 715 and 7:45 PM and I get a message at 7:16 That the order was canceled by the restaurant. I placed the order prior to their opening for the day about three hours prior. I will never order from here again. read more

We visited this restaurant on A Friday evening. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather and atmosphere. After a long hard week of work my wife and I were looking for a good cocktail and good food but in a casual atmosphere. Long story short; I tried a "New Old Fashioned" and my wife ordered a martini from their signature cocktails menu. Not good. Actually really bad. We ordered a bowl of broccoli soup and it was pretty good. Then, we split the shrimp and grits. Way too rich- and it was served in bowls that you can't really rest your Utensils on; instead you have to lay them on the table. Long story short we spent nearly $100 and walked just up the street to Meat N Greet to get a good cocktail and more food to fulfill our appetites because we didn't enjoy our previous meal enough to finish. I am a foodie; and can say that I am truly amazed how many restaurants in the downtown area are given such high ratings! Trust me; we want to like the food but having a hard time finding anything worth a crap here since moving to Newnan. You'd think you could find decent BBQ but if Oink Joint and Spayberry's are the Choices then we are going to need to travel for some goodness or just continue to make it in the backyard the way it is supposed to be made. We prefer Senoia, especially the Paris Manhattan at Bistro Hillary's. Food is okay in that town but not anything worth bragging about. read more

3.5 stars - good option for upscale dining in Newnan (but with room for improvement). We've been avoiding this place for the past few years after a not-so great first encounter (prior chef had a love affair with salt). We're a 30-min drive away with several excellent options. E.g. you need a good reason for us to keep returning!! Things have improved now. Food execution is pretty good, with sizable portions. Prices are reasonable. A $28 course here would set you back $40 at an equivalent dining spot in Atlanta. For this meal, we had 2 apps, 2 mains, 1 dessert, and a couple glasses of wine each tallied ~$130 + tip. We dined indoors (not on the deck) on a Friday. Although not packed, service was still slow. Our server, Cole, was warm, cordial and apologetic with the "sorry, our kitchen is a bit backed up". However, in observing the service flow for other stations, there is a general slowness for everything - drinks, food orders, food delivery, clearing between courses. I watched other patrons doing the head-swivel looking for their servers throughout the night. So....if the Cellar can tighten up indoor service delivery, then this can be a gem of a destination place. Pro-Tip: get the cheesecake! read more
